The city’s governance and priorities committee will be receiving a report at today’s (tues) meeting that suggests any future planning for Saskatoon’s Central Business District area should take into consideration a possible downtown arena. Last week the city held a news conference saying that there are more benefits to an arena-convention centre downtown because of the economic spin-off for restaurants, hotels and shopping rather than having the arena where it currently is. They will need to look at downtown infrastructure though, to examine the effects on roads, parking, water and sewer. The report is to be received as information.
